Field Activity 2015-640-FA

Identifier 2015-640-FA
Also known as June eelgrass surveys
Purpose Measurement of intertidal vegetation (eelgrass) shoot densities, plant morphometrics, and sediment grain size at pristine and disturbed beaches in Central Puget Sound, WA.
Location Bainbridge Island, Central Puget Sound, Washington
Summary Sample data submitted to FAD 7/20/2016 Five eelgrass surveys and sets of 3 surface sediments (0-2 cm) were each collected at 4 sites (1 site had 2 surveys).
Info derived Eelgrass: shoot densities, canopy heights, leaf morphometrics, biomass, rhizome segment lengths. Sediment: grain size distributions.
Comments Biological Field Studies will be conducted by quadrats/transects. Biological sampling will be by hand-harvesting whole plants.
